Will you ever get home?

很有意思的一个游戏，可玩性很强，整体画风是几何图案，看起来协调舒服，只不过有时候会被音乐吓到（苯人就是这样一点惊吓都承受不了的）第一遍通关用了3.3h，遗憾的是没有看懂故事想讲的是什么，可能是每个章节之间故事线联系得不够紧密，最终章虽然是坐小船联系了一下之前的情节，但语言表达还是有所欠缺，没有总的回顾一次整体故事，所以有点云里雾里。
总体来说（不错；可以；一般；nono）
游戏技巧：不错；游戏画风：不错；故事线：一般；音乐：nono。
以上纯为个人体验，仅作参考。

A really cool game. Nice story, even though not really original. But i totally love the gameplay and the style. The price is okay. Not too much but also a bit high. Id recommend buying it on sale. Still totally worth if you love puzzle games.

被封面诈骗了！
没仔细看还以为是类似纪念碑谷的视错觉解密游戏，谁知道是顶着温馨画风的恐怖游戏（其实也不是很恐怖但是bgm阴森以及音效一惊一乍的）。核心玩法是点击式场景解密，类似锈湖，但是方块场景旋转机制很容易迷路和漏东西，引导做的也不好，动不动就卡关，可能制作组也知道吧，在游戏内放了攻略的链接（是youtube视频）。我很喜欢游戏文案这种淡淡的冷幽默，虽然到最后也没看明白讲了个什么谜语人故事。整体来说是个休闲小游戏，比较便宜我就不打差评了。
几个挂机成就是何意味？

La pureté visuelle et la détente que ça procure au cerveau, tout en nous permettant de rester focus. Ce n'est pas juste un jeu pour s'évader ; Loin d'être passif, le joueur est sollicité de telle sorte qu'à l'extérieur du jeu, il soit mieux centré sur ses tâches. Je trouve que c'est un bon jeu, non pas pour se détendre, pour se montrer efficace à sa suite.

A creatively designed click and point puzzle with darker narratives throughout it. I enjoyed the puzzle style throughout, I got stuck for a while at the beginning before I realized I could interact with close up bubbles if the outer ring is flashing, in case you're stuck looking for a pregnancy test like I was. The 5 hour playtime and half hour in the starting bedroom achievements are a little eye-rolly, but I enjoyed my time playing between leaving it up to do other things. The playtime does not count if you're in a menu by the way if you're looking to complete the achievements. The Suburb chapter was my personal favorite for the mailbox puzzle in that area

Мені не сподобалось.

Наче і прикольно покрутити кімнати. Але, по-перше, багато загадок є нелогічними. Я втомилась просто "тикати", я втомилась намагатись вгадати логіку розробників.
Сюжет сам по собі дуже мрачний, дуже темний. Хоча початково картинка дуже яскрава і взагалі не очікуєш цього постійного депресняка.

Закінчила гру з великим полегшенням, чисто для галочки. Після цього сюжету - наче вийшла з коментарів під постом, де хтось ділиться дуже інтимними деталями свого життя.

fun puzzles with a story that hints at much but never quite resolves itself and an ending that felt a little sudden and out of place.
the story itself is separated into several acts, while the puzzles often make you collect specific items or find key for lock, they are still varied enough not to drag on. i found myself left with more question than were answered, themes of abuse, mental illness and violence feature heavily in the game but their impact are rarely fully explained, possibly because Emily herself does not recognize the abuse she suffered.
still, the ending was disruptive imo and i felt a little let down about reaching this very important place and then being left here with all my questions. Was that the intention? i'm generous enough to assume so.

considering that the game entertains you for barely and hour, i'd recommend getting this one on sale.

깔끔한 퍼즐게임입니다. 간단한 조작으로 감각적인 디자인의 방탈출 게임을 하는 느낌이 들었습니다.

다만 한국어 번역이 조금 아쉽고, 스토리가 조금 난해해서 1회차에 스토리를 완벽하게 이해하지는 못했습니다. 후반부에는 왜 하고 있는지 잘 모르겠는 느낌도 들었고요. 플레이타임에 비해 가격이 조금 비싼 감도 있습니다.

결론적으로 플레이타임과 스토리의 친절함이 조금 아쉬웠지만, 할인할 때 구매하여 빠르게 즐긴다면 그리 나쁘지는 않은 선택이 될 것 같습니다. 트레일러의 디자인과 게임플레이 스타일을 보고 취향껏 구매를 결정하시면 될 것 같아요.

这是一款用清新画风包裹沉重故事的解谜佳作，适合喜欢碎片化叙事和氛围沉浸的玩家。
画风极具辨识度，低多边形设计搭配高饱和度色彩，初看像治愈的童话，实则暗藏压抑感，场景旋转时的视角变化很有新意。解谜玩法简洁好上手，核心是旋转立体房间、寻找隐藏线索，谜题难度适中，部分机关设计巧妙，和叙事结合紧密。叙事戳人深省，通过物品和环境碎片拼凑三代人的家庭悲剧，原生家庭、孤独等沉重主题，没有直白说教却能引发共鸣。氛围营造顶尖，空灵配乐搭配突然的音效转折，黑色枝条、黑暗流体等意象，让清新画面与致郁内核形成强烈反差，沉浸感拉满。
缺点是部分谜题提示不足，容易因找不到隐藏物品卡关，对空间想象力要求稍高，而且视角旋转偶尔让人混乱，路痴玩家可能需要反复摸索路线。

My first no...
But that doesn't mean other peopel wouldn't enjoy it. The game play and puzzle style is unique and challanging, unfortuantly it is too challenging for me. I am getting too frustrated and annoyed at only being about to see 1/2 a room at a time. And I will find the answer I need but then have no idea how to get to where the puzzle was. I kept getting lost and turned around and spent half my time p* off I didn't know where to go. (not hard, I get lost in most map games when you can see the whole world - just ask those who play Phas with me...)
Again, just cause I didn't like it, doesn't mean others wont.

The Almost Gone is a quietly unsettling puzzle-adventure that relies on atmosphere, spatial design, and emotional subtext rather than exposition or traditional gameplay spectacle. Developed by Happy Volcano and published by Playdigious Originals and XD, the game presents itself as a minimalist experience, but beneath its clean, almost gentle presentation lies a somber exploration of trauma, memory, and unresolved pain. It is a title that asks players not just to solve puzzles, but to interpret meaning, rewarding patience and emotional attentiveness as much as logical reasoning.

The player steps into the role of Emily, a young girl who exists in a strange in-between state following her death. Rather than explaining her situation outright, the game unfolds through fragmented environments that represent places from her life. These locations are presented as small, three-dimensional dioramas—rooms, buildings, and streets suspended in isolation—which can be rotated freely to reveal hidden angles and interactions. This design choice is central to both the mechanics and the storytelling, as it reinforces the feeling of examining memories from the outside, turning them over to see what was once hidden or ignored.

Gameplay revolves around exploration and environmental puzzles that are tightly integrated with the diorama structure. Players rotate scenes to uncover switches, pathways, and clues that are invisible from certain angles, creating puzzles that hinge on perspective rather than complexity. Some challenges are simple observational tasks, while others involve multi-room logic, pattern recognition, or spatial alignment. The difficulty curve is gentle, but the satisfaction comes from understanding how each environment functions as a self-contained memory rather than from mastering demanding mechanics.

The visual presentation is deliberately restrained, using muted colors, clean lines, and minimal detail to keep focus on form and symbolism. This sparse aesthetic enhances the game’s emotional tone, allowing spaces to feel simultaneously calm and unsettling. Ordinary locations—bedrooms, hallways, playgrounds—carry a quiet heaviness, made more powerful by what they imply rather than what they show. Subtle animations and lighting shifts breathe life into these miniature worlds without ever breaking their fragile, dreamlike quality.

Sound design plays an equally important role in shaping the experience. The soundtrack is understated and atmospheric, often fading into the background or emerging softly at key moments. There is little in the way of dramatic musical cues; instead, sound reinforces isolation and introspection. Ambient noises, distant echoes, and silence itself are used effectively to make players feel alone with their thoughts, mirroring Emily’s emotional state.

Narratively, The Almost Gone is deliberately indirect. The story is pieced together through visual cues, environmental storytelling, and occasional text fragments that hint at Emily’s family life and inner struggles. Themes such as neglect, addiction, mental illness, and emotional abandonment are present throughout, but rarely addressed explicitly. This ambiguity gives the narrative a haunting quality, though it can also be frustrating for players who prefer clearer answers. The game trusts players to connect the dots themselves, and the emotional impact largely depends on how willing one is to engage with interpretation and subtext.

There are moments where this design philosophy works against the experience. Some puzzles can feel unclear due to the small scale of environments or limited visual cues, leading to periods of aimless rotation rather than thoughtful deduction. Navigation between interconnected dioramas can also become disorienting, especially without tools to help track explored spaces. These issues don’t dominate the experience, but they occasionally disrupt the otherwise steady flow of discovery.

Despite its relatively short runtime, The Almost Gone leaves a lasting impression. It is not a game built for replayability or mechanical mastery, but for reflection. Its ending avoids dramatic resolution, opting instead for quiet emotional closure that aligns with the game’s themes of acceptance and unresolved pain. For some players, this restraint will feel deeply moving; for others, it may feel incomplete or overly opaque.

Ultimately, The Almost Gone is best understood as an interactive meditation rather than a traditional puzzle game. Its strength lies in how it fuses mechanics, art direction, and narrative into a cohesive emotional experience. Players looking for challenge, fast pacing, or clear-cut storytelling may find it unsatisfying, but those drawn to introspective, narrative-driven games will find a thoughtful and haunting journey that lingers well beyond its final scene.

Rating: 7/10

War ein ganz angenehmes Spiel, etwas kurz für den Preis. Außerdem fand ich das wechseln zwischen den Szenen und das rotieren der Szene immer etwas verwirrend. Dadurch viel er mir schwer ein mentales Bild der aktuellen Map zu machen.

Es war auch alles etwas klein und ich hätte es schön gefunden, wenn man die Szene vergrößern könnte. Gerade als jemand der nicht ganz so gut sieht wäre es ein großer Pluspunkt gewesen.

Auch mag ich es nicht, wenn Spiele Errungenschaften haben, die mich eine gewisse Zeit lang spielen lassen obwohl das Gameplay nicht ganz so lang ist.
Das Spiel ist wahrscheinlich so knapp eine Stunde lang.

Ich würde also empfehlen, es im Sale zu kaufen.

Un juego relajado pero inmersivo que te cuenta las movidas de una familia a lo largo de tres generaciones. Los puzzles son retantes pero asequibles, y bastante bien pensados. La protagonista (la hija de la familia) va expresando sus opiniones y contando sus diferentes vivencias a lo largo de los años de una forma que te atrapa, queriendo saber más. La pátina de misterio así como la carga dramática de lo que te están contando no hace más que sumar a la experiencia. No esperéis que os lo cuenten todo, el jugador tendrá que atar sus propios cabos para darle sentido completo a la historia. Un bocado videojueguil de unas pocas horas de duración muy recomendable.

Spécial.. très spécial... The Almost Gone est un jeu puzzle/émotionnel d'une durée courte. Quelques heures.
Les énigmes étaient OK, ni trop faciles ni particulièrement difficiles. Parfois chiantes.

L'histoire était assez intéressante, mais assez courte. Par moments, c'était trop vague pour vraiment comprendre ce que le jeu essayait de dire, et la fin m'a donné l'impression qu'il aurait fallu un ou deux chapitres supplémentaires pour donner plus d'informations sur les personnages et leurs histoires mais en même temps il tirait en longueur, je voulais juste finir.
Concernant les succès, certains sont juste pour artificiellement augmenter la durée du jeu (jouer 5 heures? Je regarde une série à côté genre, y'a pas autant d'heure à mettre dans ce jeu).

Même si ce jeu est remplit de défauts il avait quelques qualités qui m'ont accrochés comme la DA, l'histoire quand même intriguante... Je voulais juste finir et comprendre la fin... bon. Voilà. Merci.

Un petit jeu narratif à l’ambiance singulière, parfait pour une session détente et réflexion.

The Almost Gone propose une expérience à mi-chemin entre exploration et puzzle game, dans un univers tout en délicatesse. On y découvre des maquettes de lieux du quotidien – maisons, rues, hôpitaux – découpées en petites scènes fixes à observer sous tous les angles. À chaque coin se cache un indice, un objet ou un fragment d’histoire, à dénicher avec attention.

Pas besoin d’être un expert en casse-tête pour avancer : les énigmes sont accessibles, bien pensées, et s’enchaînent naturellement. Il suffit souvent d’un peu d’observation et de logique pour comprendre comment interagir avec les éléments. Ce rythme calme, presque contemplatif, rend l’expérience très agréable, sans frustration.

L’esthétique minimaliste, aux tons doux et contrastés, donne une vraie personnalité au jeu. Chaque décor ressemble à un petit monde figé, presque irréel, dans lequel on circule comme dans un souvenir. On y sent une certaine mélancolie, renforcée par les silences, les bruits ambiants, et la manière dont l’histoire se tisse en arrière-plan.

La narration avance par petites touches, à travers des réflexions intérieures et des détails visuels. C’est une approche discrète, qui laisse la place à l’imagination sans pour autant être obscure. On suit un fil narratif personnel, touchant, sans avoir besoin de tout comprendre dès la première scène.

Si vous aimez les jeux où l’on prend son temps, où l’atmosphère compte autant que la mécanique, The Almost Gone vaut clairement le détour. C’est une courte aventure, mais elle a du caractère, et elle marque par sa sensibilité.

[h3]总体评分：8.7/10
[/h3]
[b]体量：一周目2-3小时，全成就需要多周目
评价：佳作，值得一玩[/b]

先说[b]优点[/b]：
游戏的四个视角有点像纪念碑谷，但解密方法还是标准的点击式互动，不是纪念碑谷那种利用视觉错位来解密的。但是！这不代表本作没有在视角切换上下心思。由于观测视角是矩形空间的四个角，靠近观测角的两面会被隐藏，如果有墙壁在这两面也会被暂时隐藏。这就给埋线索、埋提示提供了无限的发挥空间。可以利用墙壁遮挡，在墙壁后埋线索；也可以通过房间之间的联系，在不同的空间埋下一连串的线索提示。在医院章节，我这辈子都没见过这么有创意、而且是联结了所有空间的谜题设计！！不得不佩服作者的空间想象力与绝佳的创意。
叙事方面，本作也是通过物品与场景的构建，进行侧面叙事，通过物来描绘人发生过的故事。其中一个创意点是，某些空间存在不同时空的两种形态，即过去与现在。作者在这些空间设计了一个两个时空都存在的物品，通过这个物品可以穿梭于两个时空，不仅体现了两个时空间的变迁，还能利用过去时空下的物品解开当前时空的谜题，在叙事和解密两个方面都做到了最佳。

再说[b]缺点[/b]：
虽然游戏转视角的方式很有创意，但时间长了真的会头晕orz，本路痴玩家时常在地图里绕圈找不到目标位置。左上角的地图必须点开才能看到，常态下是只有当前所在位置的小地图，看不到前后左右有几格、该怎么走。一旦转了视角，地图也会跟着转，就更分不清自己在哪了。如果有优化的话，希望能把大地图常态显示，不要点了才能看到，常态下的小地图真的一点用都没有。

总结：
本作虽然对路痴有一点不友好，但谜题设计、叙事方式绝对是我见过的解谜游戏里t1级别。游戏的场景、建筑设计我也很喜欢，看得出来制作团队里有建筑学大佬，一部分谜题设计也与建筑方面有关。前期可能会觉得有点无聊，但后期人物故事串联起来，加上更为精巧的解密，绝对能让体验再上三层楼！佳作值得推荐！

ігрова механіка цікава, в цілому атмосфера хороша
так, емоційно важко, якщо ви самі задумаєтесь над тим, на що вам натякають
але сюжет не має чіткої лінії чи пояснення, тож ви можете трактувати кінець чи загалом сюжет так, як самі хочете

The Almost Gone is an average puzzle game about exploring nightmares and dreamscapes. There's some good dioramas that build up the initial house, but I found the later gameplay to be somewhat lackluster. The story is decently written and heavily full of trauma. I don't exactly discourage people from playing the game, I mainly strongly suggest reading through some of the more detailed reviews before picking it up.

一周目结束来记录一下体验：精致的解谜游戏，美术风格很优秀，一些隐藏成就也很有趣。故事聚焦于一个小家庭的沉痛过往，为了让玩家更好地拼凑出过去而增加了很多与解谜无关的细节，但是感觉结束得有点突然，或许需要二周目来更连贯地理解整个故事。解谜本身不算复杂，对擅长的人而言或许两三个小时就能通关，实在卡关的话也有官方的攻略可以看，不过比较需要空间想象力，对路痴不太友好……

Es un buen juego de misterio y puzzles, hasta cierto punto también de suspenso, la historia está bien manejada; los puzzles son bastante buenos, el arte es precioso, no me topé ninguna falla o bug...

Me encantó la forma de contar los dolores e historias con los objetos.

玩了半小时一直在不同的房间进进出出进进出出，一个屋里没几个线索要一直跑来跑去，那很好了。

二编通关来评
第四章游戏性强一点，其他章节感觉没啥意思，一直跑没完，有一个成就还是通关第二遍，真没兴趣二周目了老铁，不过全成就还是容易的，正常玩刷一下时长＋二周目，玩两遍就全成就了。

Ugh, I have to admit, I did not enjoy this game. It's a fairly polished hidden object adventure with light puzzle elements and a thoroughly depressing vibe.

[h1]The good:[/h1]
➕ Good production value, with atmospheric graphics and sounds.

[h1]Mixed:[/h1]
〰 While I appreciate that the game tries to give a content warning in the beginning, unfortunately it's uselessly vague. "Sensitive material" and "mature topics" could mean anything from gun deaths to chronic illness to racism. A better solution would have been to [i]also[/i] offer a more spoilery content warning for those who would rather know the specifics. So, content warning: [spoiler]child neglect and abuse including imprisonment and emotional abuse, substance abuse, psychiatric ward with restraints, unspecified trauma perhaps related to domestic abuse, loneliness, death of family members, animal abuse, implied suicide[/spoiler].

〰 I like the basic gameplay concept of spotting hidden objects in rotatable isometric rooms, but the execution drags it down (see the next section).

〰 While some puzzles feel satisfying, others run on "moon logic".

〰 I want to add a tongue-in-cheek comment about a company called Happy Volcano making such a depressing game. You play as [spoiler]the ghost of a freshly deceased woman(? - the gender is only implied by a single achi title), trying to figure out what happened and discovering secrets about her family members and their past in the process[/spoiler].

[h1]The bad:[/h1]
➖ I felt like I was lost for most of my playthrough. I kept going in circles and circles trying to find a hidden clue I missed somewhere that would let me progress. And it was sometimes things like, I should have turned over this specific piece of paper in my inventory, when all the others before didn't need it. Or this object in my inventory [i]can[/i] be opened, unlike other similar objects before. The devs made a video walkthrough, and I unfortunately regularly had to consult this to avoid tearing my hair out.

Based on the walkthrough, the game could be completed in 47 minutes, but I spent over 3 hours with it, most of it going in circles, feeling lost about what I'm supposed to do next. This was exacerbated by...

➖ The nearly useless map. It shows you squares of the room layout of the current stage. Mind, these are completely uniform squares that don't show any identifying features of the rooms or which ones are currently blocked by locked doors. The map also doesn't allow you to quick travel to another room, no, you have to try remembering what objects were in each room and navigate nearly blindly.

➖ The backtracking needed in the [spoiler]hospital[/spoiler] level feels kinda ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. There is this long puzzle, where at each mistake you have to navigate around the whole stage to try to find and retrieve an item you shot at the wrong target (or if you forgot to flip one of several switches before shooting it), before being able to try again. Thoroughly unfun.

➖ Most of the text narration of the game is just vague, foreboding musings from the protagonist, that never really resolve into anything of substance. They got repetitive enough that it felt like I was on the "I'm 14 and this is deep" subreddit 😬 About the end of the story: [spoiler]It doesn't really have one. What exactly happened to her? Why did her father leave her a message to go to the tree house? What happens once she gets there? We don't get to learn, the game just ends.[/spoiler]

➖ Some of the achievements are pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ too. Stand in this room for 30 minutes? Play this 2-3 hours long game for 5 hours? Play through the whole game twice despite zero replay value? Come on, this just feels like a lazy and exploitative attempt to artificially milk more Steam playtime statistics out of the game.

[h1]Final thoughts:[/h1]
I can't in my right mind recommend this game :( It feels polished and a labour of love, but I just didn't enjoy the experience. A better map and hint system would have helped a lot.

This is a short puzzle game with about 2 to 3 hours of playtime.
The puzzles were fine, they weren't super easy but also not particularly difficult.
The story was somewhat interesting, but there wasn't a lot of it (not surprising given how short the game is). In parts it was too vague to really figure out what the game was trying to say, and the end made me think that there should have been a chapter or two more to give some more information on the characters and their stories.
One more issue I had with the game were the achievements, which artificially push up playtime (one of the achievements is to play the game for 5 hours), which does bother me a bit.
Nonetheless I did enjoy what was there, and since I bought the game on sale I do believe it was worth the price.

音乐和美术是吸引我的点，但是其它方面不如预期。
剧情上比较迷，主角对游戏中可交互物品的想法都比较消极，再配合音效的渲染，整体的氛围比较压抑。到最后剧情戛然而止，让我有点迷失：“我千辛万苦来这到底是干嘛来了？”
谜题的设计也中规中矩，很遗憾的一点是明明这种视角的切换可以玩出更多花样，但是游戏明显没有好好利用这一点，只在数字密码这一处有相关的谜题。
想吐槽的一点是场景和无关物品的设计。本来场景就小，各场景之间的切换比较繁琐，跟解开谜题无关的物品又太多，经常干扰我的判断，使得从得到谜题解法到谜题真正解开的流程变得过于繁琐了。

For me, this felt a bit like a neutral experience, so I suppose it's a "not recommend." tl;dr, the content length felt contrived, the soundtrack is not enjoyable, and the story ended very abruptly. I do like the art style, though.

I completed my first run at a slow pace of 2.5 hours, with frequent backtracking and spam clicking when I didn't understand a puzzle (happened frequently - thank goodness for walkthroughs). There are four achievements that pad playtime - doing an activity for 2 min, staying in a room for 30 min, completing the game twice, and spending 5 hours in the game - so I wouldn't really count that as new content.

Overall, I think the art direction is well-done, but I had difficulty traversing the rooms and the music is pretty bare-bones spooky ambiance. I was interested in where the story was going before it abruptly ended in the final chapter; overall, it was too subtle for me to grasp, so I do feel like now I need to find an essay writeup explaining the plot.

I bought this game a long time ago and played it once, and forgot how was the game. After replaying it now i can remember why it was forgotten

The good:
- Nice art style, it has an aesthetic appeal to it, like playing in a miniature/ dollhouse setting, and you can toggle between different parts of the scene which is fun.
- Point and click with no time limits/ time challenges
- No deaths/ game over
- There is a link in the game which leads you to a walkthrough, but kind of tedious to switch tabs

The not so good:
- Some of the puzzles are kind of obscure to solve, and you wouldn't figure out that an item was supposed to go somewhere without trial and error at some point (or with a walkthrough) [spoiler]the flying tube puzzle is the one that is the most annoying of all, and not to mention repetitive, and WOW a flying tube can knock off a rock statue's head and still remain intact, WHY didn't i think of that solution?[/spoiler]
- The scenes are very small, and there are no options to highlight which areas can be interacted with, as well as no option to zoom in/ out, [spoiler]one part which makes me angry is the one that we have to find a digging/ hiding spot for a bone, there is a crudely drawn map which shows us the location but the hiding area is SO SMALL in the scene and is actually hidden in a corner of the house, disguised as a small black lump which could have been part of the background since the house is so broken, and this is just ONE example, there are few other scenes which equally frustrates me[/spoiler]
- Story is short but provides no real explanations, just snippets of what happened and no real narrative from the characters involved, so we have to make guesses most of the time, and the ending is so obscure that it makes me question what was the story from the beginning, like we don't know what really happened to the main character. Plus, we don't really know what most of the characters in the story were thinking about or what is their actual personality; there are letters and notes throughout the game but they were just scribbles of incomprehensible words which is a shame, because maybe if there were letters to read or some notes written in the drawings etc, then maybe we would have some idea of how the character is like or what actually happened, and that would have add more depth to the game i think [spoiler]the scene where there is a police car in the tree is the one that baffles me, like what is the relationship of this scene to the whole story? i can assume someone died? maybe? but who? everyone in the scene died? why and how did it happened?? or maybe nobody died and the scene was just a product of main character's imagination??? and what's up with the tree roots and the tree house? the roots could represent the root of the family problems but what about the tree house?? IDK so many questions....[/spoiler]
- Music is meh, like most of the time it's just quiet silence, and only certain parts of the game have some real music
- You can't jump to a particular scene by looking at the map, instead you have to click allllllllll the way to the scene that you want to go, very fun

4/10, maybe if you want to know the story just watch a walkthrough video

《The Almost Gone》是款與特定物件互動，在解謎的過程中取得訊息，幫助主角回憶過往的敘事型解謎遊戲。

(★=1分、☆=0.5分，五星為滿分)
[h3] 遊戲性：★★★ [/h3]
立體空間可以360°旋轉，很容易迷失方向，左上角的小地圖又沒有任何標註，只能知道自己的位置，對找路沒太大的幫助，而且有些角度會卡透視視角，看不到部分物品和移動用的箭頭。
游標移動到可以互動的物件上時，會變成眼睛的形狀，提示還算明確，除了醫院關卡的管道操作起來有些麻煩以外，整體並不複雜。

[h3] 劇情：★★☆ [/h3]
接觸特定物件或場景，主角會闡述自己對父母的瞭解，以及家族過去發生的事，偶爾會有主角可愛的吐嘈，但主要內容抑鬱，沒有開心的回憶，只有對悲劇的無可奈何，結局平淡。

[h3] 美術＆音樂：★★☆ [/h3]
平靜，是本作一開始給人的印象，即使建模風格看似可愛的袖珍模型，還用了鮮豔的色調，但它散發出的氛圍沒有一絲活潑。
後期場景色彩變得灰暗，BGM類似機械持續運轉的轟鳴，單調且沉悶，令人感到窒息，彷彿主角逐漸接近真相，卻不願意面對的心境。

[h3] 全成就難度：★ [/h3]
本作全破後無法選擇章節，可以選擇在二周目補完，有三個拖時間的掛機成就，其中遊玩五個小時的成就必須掛在遊戲內，不能掛在標題畫面。

結論：全程大約三小時，解謎簡單，地圖方向不好分辨，劇情偏重主角的家庭，對主角本身沒有太多著墨，算是小品佳作。
然後特別提醒一下，醫院章節的病房，除了提示中的那四間，其它都是空的。

（Due to dissatisfaction with the game, I used AI to translate an English version and placed it at the end, attempting to show it to international friends.）
优秀的美术，架空的创意，利用率极低的地图，不合的格游戏性和碎片化剧情，还有反人类的成就，音效我开的很低，不作评价。单看美术部分的确非常清新，风格也很适合这一类点击解密游戏，结合其三维旋转的玩法有一些纪念碑谷的意思，但也仅仅只有表皮，除了美术外并无长处。
整个游戏流程中需要玩家进行旋转操作的次数非常多，然而除了第三章的一次数字拼合，大部分的游戏时间内这个创意并没有和其他的解密游戏拉开区别，都是通过点击寻找线索，第四章在了解了解密思路后就只剩下无意义的对齐管道；以上只能说明这个游戏其创意并没能以足够有新意的形式体现在谜题上，但这个游戏的地图设计才是最大的败笔，是它令人感到“无聊”、被称为“迷路模拟器”的根源。
一个章节内至少有十几个房间，每张房间内通过点击能得到有效信息的交互点4-5个，每2-3个房间才能出现一个有可操作谜题的交互点，这就意味着玩家好不容易接触到一个谜题，在得到解密用的道具后想玩一下解密，会需要移动好几个房间；但是由于房间是可以旋转的，每一次找完线索后玩家视角的方向会变，房间数量又非常多，想要回到原先的地点难免迷路；章节内有内置小地图，但是这个小地图并不能显示出每一个房间的布局，玩家依旧无法知道自己要去的地方在哪里、该怎么走——在走完了这么多弯弯绕绕的路以后，玩家会发现，自己并没有进行多少实质性的操作，章节居然结束了，时间都花在找路上。这样一通操作，给人的体会便是：可玩性低、有效交互少、谜题质量低下，地图信息量小、冗余严重。
当然，从谜题处会有高亮提示可以看出，制作组有意简化游戏的游戏部分，让它变得更简单，来为叙事服务，那叙事部分做的又怎么样？以下是个人观点：我没看懂，只是隐约能看出来主角的一家三代都过的不是很好，它或许是一个巨大的悲剧，但是演出又太简单，需要玩家从主角的自言自语里拼凑事情的真相，这种不沉浸的剧情叙述方式并不值得用一个不好玩的游戏来包饺子。
The game features impressive art, imaginative concepts, but suffers from underutilized maps, subpar gameplay, fragmented storytelling, and anti-human achievements. I kept the sound effects low and won't comment on them. The art style alone is refreshingly crisp and well-suited for this type of point-and-click puzzle game. Its three-dimensional rotation mechanic bears a resemblance to Monument Valley, yet it only scratches the surface; aside from the visuals, there are no other redeeming qualities.

Throughout the game, players frequently need to perform rotational actions. However, apart from one instance of numerical combination in Chapter 3, this creative element fails to distinguish itself from other puzzle games during most of the gameplay. It relies heavily on clicking to find clues. Once the solution to the puzzle in Chapter 4 is understood, it reduces to merely aligning pipes without purpose. This indicates that the game's creativity doesn't manifest in its puzzles with enough novelty. However, the game's map design is its biggest flaw, being the root cause of its "boring" reputation and why it's dubbed a "straying simulator."
Each chapter contains at least a dozen rooms, with each room offering only 4-5 interactive points where effective information can be obtained via clicking. Only every 2-3 rooms presents an interactive puzzle point that is actionable. This means that after finding a puzzle and acquiring the necessary item to solve it, players must traverse several rooms to engage with it. Due to the rotatable nature of the rooms, the direction changes after each clue search, making it easy to lose one's way given the sheer number of rooms. Although there is an in-built mini-map within chapters, it doesn't display the layout of each room, leaving players unable to know their destination or how to get there. After navigating these convoluted paths, players realize they haven't performed many substantial actions before a chapter concludes, with much time wasted on wandering. This experience leads to a feeling of low playability, scarce effective interaction, poor puzzle quality, and minimal map information amidst excessive redundancy.

It's evident from the highlighted hints in puzzles that the developers intended to simplify the gaming aspect to make it easier and serve the narrative better. But how about the narrative itself? Here's my personal view: I didn't quite understand it but could vaguely discern that the protagonist's family has been through tough times across three generations, possibly indicating a grand tragedy. However, the performance is too simplistic, requiring players to piece together the truth from the protagonist's monologues. This disengaging method of storytelling isn't worth experiencing through an otherwise unenjoyable game.
